Production Optimization Overview
Hardware, software, and people to create specific solutions.
Weatherford’s broad range of solutions and depth of technical expertise offer the client unmatched capabilities. Working closely with you, we help identify the best ways to increase production, reduce operating costs, and improve monitoring and analysis at the well, reservoir and field level. This provides a progression of optimization from simple to very complex while providing integrated solutions that focus on a wide range of needs. As a result, personnel from pumpers to reservoir engineers can use our solutions and interact in ways never before possible.
While each of Weatherford’s solutions focus on either well, reservoir, or field optimization, their benefits overlap. The benefits are represented in the chart below that shows the typical progression of comprehensive optimization. Through ongoing support and collaboration, Weatherford and the client are able to engineer and implement production optimization solutions that achieve a “gestalt” or a value greater than the sum of the individual system components.
